Microsoft AI Watch posted an update
Microsoft’s worldwide outage has affected Outlook, Teams and Copilot, with recovery still incomplete, CBS News reports, citing the company’s latest update. More than 130,000 Downdetector users reported Outlook problems at the peak, though reports have since fallen.
Why it mattersOpenAI and Anthropic also reported trouble connecting with Microsoft 365 tools. The practical wrinkle: an outage in workplace software can spill into the tools AI companies use to work, not just the inboxes of their customers.
Discuss: Should AI firms treat dependence on workplace suites such as Microsoft 365 as a resilience risk, or is that just an unavoidable cost of using shared tools?
